GE BRINGS GOOD THINGS TO LIFE.

[@crabfat1494]

The first aero engine to have composite blades was the Rolls-Royce RB108, designed in the early 1950s. These blades were of GRP. Much later, in the early 1970s, Rolls-Royce used composites in a turbofan engine. Fan blades for the RB211-22B were of ‘Hyfil’, a carbon fibre reinforced epoxy. The blades were of a new wide-chord design pioneered by the company to reduce the number of blades necessary, and hence cut noise. So GE are not the originators of composite blades. .

[@crabfat1494]

+soaringtractor Makes no difference.. Composite RR blades were in use, working and running well before the RB 211 came along when the company underestimated the engine’s development costs, which led the company to bankruptcy in February 1971. As a consequence, Rolls-Royce was nationalized, and the British government met the company’s financial obligations As for Lockheed all but going bust, Lockheed was on the verge of bankruptcy because of delays with the L-1011 other than the RB211, cost overruns on its C-5 program, and reduced military contracts in the waning years of the Vietnam War. Lockheed were saved only through coordinated efforts of the U.S. government and other consolidated lenders, and committed customers. Lockheed were in the mire without the L1011. Anyway...Composite blades are not US invented..

[@MrROTD]

+crabfat In widespread service? no GE did that first is what he said

[@crabfat1494]

soaringtractor lockheed was in the shit with the Tri star with or without the RB211. "That is why a smart plane builder will use two or three engine choices to prevent that !!! DUUUHHHH!!!".............But lockheed didn't according to you....it relied on RR. DDDUUUUHHHH!!!!!!!!

[@crabfat1494]

soaringtractor RR had a delayed delivery for an aircraft that was already flopping and to a company(Lockheed) that was in the shit anyway.. The only reason the British government helped RR was the condition that the US government bailed out Lockheed.....So don't try and score on that old chestnut. And anyway...when lockheed got the engines...the plane turned out to be a duffer when no-one would buy it.

[@crabfat1494]

[@eribolanos8828]

Hi Charlie Austin, correct me if I’m wrong, but hasn’t the industry changed directions in favor of a mid to long range - efficient jet? For example Boeing’s 737 series is perhaps the best selling plane we have seen so far. It has performed excellently; that is of-course, until the recent accidents involving the 737 Max, which has cause major airlines to cancel orders and has caused the groundings of the entire global fleet. There has also been a decline in operations of the 747 series by airlines. The “Queen if the Skies” utilizes jet which utilizes the GE9X engine. I’m hoping all turnouts well for Boeing. However, I am interested in seeing how Boeing manages to recover from the recent accidents with the 373 Max and am particularly interested to see how this could mean for Airbus and their new A330neo, but I am also cheering for the success of the 777X.

The GE90 was designed in the late 80's early 90's and had the first composite fan blades ever on a commercial engine. It's 2016 and GE is on it's 4th generation composite blades while no other engine manufacturer has any composite blades on their engines. The weight savings is tremendous and makes the GE90 the most efficient large jet engines on the planet. The GE9X will make the GE90 look like a mid 50's gas guzzling turbo jet engine. The GE9X will have composites in each area of the engine like the huge cowling will be all composite along with that beautiful extremely large fan blade. Around 43% will be composites along with new metals that GE is not giving any info on that is much lighter than Titanium with better heat resistance at higher temps while having more rigidity, it's also easier to work with.

Pray for GE and Boeing's success. In today's growing global competition, we need to beat Airbus and RR in performance and safety.

Carbon fiber superalloy ????? (3:50) It's either composite, or it's metal.

[@butchciarrocchi7250]

Being a true blue blooded American i do belive the ge90 is probably the best commerical jet engine out there RR engines are some of the best engines out there i hope im wrong on that i always want to think we have the best of everything but in my heart i dont belive that we do

[@RayleighCriterion]

Today's turbine jet engines were obsolete back in the early 2000's by an engine design that can easily produce greater than 10:1 power to weight ratios, and is several magnitudes less expensive to manufacture.

[@jgedutis]

This GE engine video is so good I forgot about Edison screwing over Tesla long enough to subscribe.

[@thethirdman225]

They did add a quote from Orville Wright about progress - which he did everything to stop.

[@YouScroob]

Actually it was J.P. Morgan that screwed Tesla (and Westinghouse) after he screwed Edison.

Using music was an unnecessary distraction here, and the narration too monolithic and inauthentic sounding. "Sensing the strong winds of change...",... Really? How poetic.

GE are better than Rolls Royce? Unless of course you're using a faulty GE operand in which case you probably meant GE

Im mesmerised by flight , I think its the singlemost greatest achievement of mankind , seems like one minute the Wright brothers were bouncing up and down on a bundle of sticks that resembled a kite , then in a very very short space of time theres hundreds of people in metal tubes in the sky .

[@adamwillis6975]

What i find very ironic, is that for years I've heard Americans dismiss Rolls Royce saying that American GE design and engineering is far better, yet at the helm was a British Man, so both RR and GE are products of British design and engineering pioneers. Whereas as the American PW. are still loud fuel guzzling smoke machines.

[@vbscript2]

LOL - So, having a Brit working there makes it 'British design and engineering,' even though the vast majority of the engineers working there are Americans? Also, some of RR's design is done here, too. They tried to recruit some of my aerospace engineering friends. Also, according to RR's own website, "More Rolls-Royce products are built in the U.S. than anywhere else in the world."

[@dieselyeti]

I guess you haven't heard about Pratt's geared turbofan Adam? It will be the quietest engine flying and one of the most efficient.

[@SuperBuzz71]

GE is a long way ahead of Roll Royce when it comes to Combustor tech. RR combustors are far inferior in efficiency to GE's by a large margin. RR has their 3rd shaft, P&W has the geared fan but GE has the combustion tech. Efficient use of fuel starts at the combustor and also drives emissions more directly that the other approaches. Also the majority of RR engineering is now done in the USA.

[@adamwillis6975]

SuperBuzz71 no GE is not far ahead than RR. Where on earth did you see or hear that?? The only reason why a lot of RR were built in the US was because of the high demand over GE. That has since ended and shut down. GE only came up to scratch with RR because they got British engineers in to bring them up to RR standard.

[@SuperBuzz71]

Where on earth did I see that? Testing development RR and GE combustors. My statement is based on first hand knowledge. Yours seem to subjective to proving some stupid point that British engineers are born smarter than American engineers. As far as market share, GE and CFM combined are almost twice what RR and IAE are combined so I'm not sure about your demand for product comment. Be proud to be a Brit but don't be an idiot about it

The GE flat top stove did very well with balanced heating

How about thinking about the passengers instead of the airlines...we are flying slower than ever with all these "great" engines

[@zapszapper9105]

And your airfare is as cheap relatively as it has ever been and your safety is better than it has ever being

[@BenJaminLongTime]

Slower=quieter, fuel efficiency, less vibration, less wear and tear... if speed is all you want the concord is for you.

[@triplanelover]

great engine, truly marvelous. My GE Toaster oven is a POS even though its thrust ratio is 27:1

[@danielking104]

lol!!!!! Goliath killed by a stone. So can this engine.

[@Bartonovich52]

Probably not. They test them for bird strikes. Especially an ultra high bypass engine like this one.

[@dickneva7169]

None of us will be alive to enjoy high speed air travel!

[@DarrylFry]

WHY DON'T THEY PUT CHICKEN WIRE MESH OVER THE FRONT OF THE ENGINES TO PREVENT BIRD STRIKES TAKING OUT PLANES ?

[@nomad6337]

well it would decrease the air flow so the engine would need to work extra hard, and besides this one doesnt require any, i saw the test videos the chicken turns to paste and goes out safely

[@401sttfw9]

soaringtractor Another pointless comment by the tractor fucking asshat.

[@ivanlagrossemoule]

Okay so usually the high pressure turbine blades are meant to support alot of heat and mainly hold to creep. That's why the nickel based superalloys were used, as well as monocrystals. But how does the cobalt and chrome alloy compensate for this ? I mean, unless they could print monocrystals I'm sort of confused.

[@mccormicklucas451]

Cobalt and chrome alloys is used together because they have a really high resistance to heat and friction which is both in a jet engine I know the t-58 helicopter I work on which is also a GE engine it has cobalt bearings and titanium compressor casings

[@cosimoto1]

Well that's great! So why, after working my whole life at technology and management, can't I afford to fly where I want? This DID NOT represent ANY chance for me to go anywhere but instead only increased the profit of the same people who both finance flying for their employees and sell the stinking engines to start with.

[@AudiophileTubes]

Awesome innovation from GE obviously, but I sure do miss flying on those old TWA and OLYMPIC Boeing 707's nonstop NY (JFK) to Athens, Greece, with those screaming Pratt & Whitney jet engines! What a lucky teen I was to have been able to experience that time, and the ushering in of the jet age back in the 60's!

[@ryansmith6101]

Rolls Royce should just stick to making fancy cars with their very very very unreliable engines.

[@nathd1748]

ryan smith Obviously another Yank who doesn't know shit. Rolls Royce were building engines before GE existed. And in case you yanks dont get the media feeds....Emirates have just selected Rolls Royce to REPLACE their existing supplier GE on the A380. So the BIG $ guys who put their money where their mouth is are quite confident in RR whereas you're just an annoying yank sprouting DRIVEL. You silly BOY

That is sad! i use to love the craftsmanship of a bespoke Roll Royce. My father would take me to the Roll Royce dealership here in the US, when I was a kid. Never saw them in the town I lived in, but when I saw them rolling down the streets of California, I knew it was something special.

[@mdbarkatullah7636]

I will use it on my upcoming idea to make a aeroplane for GE aviation I will use this engine

[@marcuswardle3180]

‘We were the first to develop carbon fibre fan blades’ - Wrong! Rolls-Royce were developing them for their new RB211 engine in the 60’s. The original development was by the RAE, Farnborough. They found that they were not good enough in bird strike situations so therefore went with a blade with a honeycomb structure covered in titanium. This produced wearability and strength.

[@thethirdman225]

Exactly.

[@terrywilder9]

Wrong! You mean they "tried to develop"!

[@marcuswardle3180]

terry wilder No! The RAE, Farnborough had developed them but when Rolls-Royce tried them they were perfectly acceptable as a fan blade but couldn’t withstand a bird strike. Thus they ditched the technology and went to the honeycomb titanium blade.

[@thethirdman225]

Marcus Wardle Somewhere In there, Rolls-Royce developed a thing called Hyfil, or something, which was a single crystal blade.

[@terrywilder9]

@@marcuswardle3180 Incorrect again! If they can't stand a bird strike they are not acceptable as a fan blade!
